62nd Primetime Emmy Awards (8pm, NBC) - Jimmy Fallon hosts from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. "The Pacific" and "Glee" are top-nominated with 24 and 19. George Clooney gets the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. We'll be covering it live so check back here for updates and recaps.

NFL Exhibition: Steelers at Broncos (8pm, Fox) - Emmy has some stiff competition tonight...

Drop Dead Diva (9pm, Lifetime) - In the two-hour season finale, Jane works a case involving a cyber bully. Also, Grayson meets Vanessa's parents, and a case involving cryogenics has Jane and Grayson thinking of Deb. Most importantly, who is Jane marrying? Paula Abdul guest stars again, but this time she's not a judge in Jane's dreams, she's her wedding planner. Hmmmm.

True Blood (9pm, HBO) - Bill tries to earn back Sookie's trust but ends up introducing her to new dangers. Eric, knowing he's no physical match for Russell, tempts the king with "the ultimate vampire dream." Also, Jason tries to wrap his head around the fact that he's dating a cat.

The Cove (9pm, Animal Planet) - This is the film that exposed the abuse and slaughter of dolphins at the hands of Japanese fishermen and won the 2010 Oscar for best feature-length documentary. You may also be interested in Animal Planet's new three-part serires, "Blood Dolphins."

Mad Men (10pm, AMC) - Peggy and her new creative partner don't see eye-to-eye, and Don pitches a client under an unusual set of circumstances.

Tonight is the night we hope against hope that Emmy rewards some of our dark horse television favorites and finally gives trophies to those who really deserve them. Here at Happiness is a Warm TV, that of course means Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler from "Friday Night Lights" absolutely must win. And also, anyone from "Breaking Bad." Oh! And "Mad Men." Or "Dexter."

Shoot. I guess they can't all win.

This year should be pretty interesting, though, since there are so many really deserving nominees. I can only name a handful of nominees whose wins would truly tick me off (ahem, "Office" and Alec Baldwin). Mostly, I think the majority are deserving. (Here are my picks from early July.).

The show, hosted by Jimmy Fallon, begins at 8pm on NBC. We'll be live-blogging recaps here all night, starting at 8pm, so check back often.

Here are some things to watch for in tonight's broadcast:

Bill Maher fans love the New Rules segment of his HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher." It's the part of the show where he basically rants about people and policies that irritate him.

Maher gave The Hollywood Reporter a list of New Rules for people attending this Sunday's Emmy Awards show.

An example: New Rule: Please spare me the 40-minute dissertation on how fabulous "Glee" is. It's 2010. You can just come right out and say you're gay.

Maher has been nominated for 26 Emmys, including four this year for "Real Time."

Read more of Maher's New Rules at The Hollywood Reporter website.

Betty White won the "Outsanding Guest Actress" Emmy at the Creative Arts Awards Emmy Awards today in Los Angeles.

White won for her work hosting "Saturday Night Live" earlier this year. She was up against Kristin Chenoweth ("Glee"), Jane Lynch ("Two and a Half Men"), Christine Baranski ("The Big Bang Theory"), Elaine Stritch ("30 Rock") and Kathryn Joosten ("Desperate Housewives").

Neil Patrick Harris won two Emmys tonight, for his guest spot on "Glee" and for hosting the Tony Awards Show. These are his first Emmys. He's also nominated for his role on "How I Met Your Mother," but that award will be handed out at next week's main Emmy Awards show.

John Lithgow also won for his role as the Trinity killer on Showtime's "Dexter."

The Creative Arts Emmys show is not televised (an edited version will air later). You can check out all of the winners at The Wrap website.

The Emmy nominations were announced this morning, and the big news? "Friday Night Lights" finally got some much-deserved recognition. It's about time, Emmy!

The big nominees this season were "Lost" (predictably), "Glee," "Mad Men," and "The Pacific." Glaring omissions? No nod for "Big Bang Theory," but "The Office" gets a nomination during its worst season ever?? And "Survivor" is left out of the Reality Show category after one of its strongest seasons. Instead, "The Amazing Race" and "Project Runway," who had unusually weak seasons, both got nods. And while I hate to look a "Friday Night Lights" gift horse in the mouth, would it have killed Emmy to recognize Zach Gilford?

We're also bothered by "Glee" and "Nurse Jackie" being in the comedy category, since both shows more often play like dramas with occasional moments of levity. Plus, totally not fair for a full-hour show like "Glee" to be included with traditional half-hour sitcoms. I'm old school about my sitcom categories.

Below is the breakdown of major categories, with my personal pick noted in parentheses. Adrienne may chime in later. Tell us what you think in the comments section below!

It's Emmy time at last, so I'm settling down in front of the TV to see just how badly I did on my Emmy ballot. If you didn't watch, here's what you missed.

Most favored Emmy host Neil Patrick Harris starts with an intro that sounds like a 1940s newsreel announcer. He then comes out in white dinner jacket and channels Frank Sinatra for his big song, a clever number that implores folks to put down the remote. It's brief and fanastic. The funniest part of the song was the line about how curvy Joan from "Mad Men" could turn a gay man straight, then "Oh wait, there's Jon Hamm."

First Kanye West joke of the night is from NPH: "I hope Kanye likes '30 Rock.'"

NPH gives a tour of the fancy stage and tells us they will present the awards grouped in genres this year. Interesting. First up is comedy and there's a comedy montage that reminds me once again why I do not watch "Two and a Half Men."

I get so excited for the Emmy show every fall, and never understand why ratings are so low. This year, Neil Patrick Harris is the host, so my hopes are even higher than usual (he may sing!). And Justin Timberlake is presenting (duet?!). So I expect the show to be funny, the speeches to be captivating, and my favorites to win. (We'll see how that works out for me...)

Without re-reading the predictions we made in July when the nominees were first announced, I'm going to make my picks and wish/rant/threaten a little here (watch your back, Charlie Sheen).

61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards (8pm, CBS) - Tonight's big show is hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. "30 Rock" leads with 22 nominations and "Mad Men" follows with 16. I've already picked my favorites. Have you?

Drop Dead Diva (9pm, Lifetime) - Jane meddles in a judge's love life and ends up suing a matchmaking service. Kim and Grayson work with psychic sisters who have a dispute about the family business. Guest stars are Liza Minelli, Delta Burke, and Rosie O'Donnell. 

Curb Your Enthusiasm (9pm, HBO) - Larry David is back for his 7th season, and he's really itching to ditch the Black family (they keep the house too warm), except Loretta (Vivica A. Fox) may have cancer. What's a guy to do...

Bored to Death (9:30pm, HBO) - A funny new comedy series starring Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, and Zach Galifianakis. Schwartzman plays a writer who decides on a whim to try his hand as an unlicensed private detective.  

Mad Men (10pm, AMC) - The summary from AMC says that a surprise visitor shows up at Sterling Cooper, that Sally gets "spooked" by something or someone, and that Joan gets some surprising news. Hmmm. Word on the street is that something really shocking indeed happens, and that we don't want to save this on the DVR for later. If you're watching the Emmys and can't DVR, "Mad Men" repeats on AMC at 11pm. Also, don't forget that Monday, Oprah will devote her entire show (4pm, WTVD) to "Mad Men."

ABC's critically acclaimed (and criminally cancelled) "Pushing Daisies" won three awards this weekend at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Figures.

Also, Tina Fey won an award for her portrayal of former Governor Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live," and Justin Timberlake was the first SNL host to win a guest actor in a comedy series award.

The show's host, Kathy Griffin, who has nicknamed the event "The Schmemmies," was nominated for her Bravo reality show, "My Life on the D-List." Griffin has won in this category for the past two years, but lost out this time to A&E's "Intervention."

Other big winners came from HBO, PBS, and NBC. You can read more about the full list of winners, and Griffin's over-the-top hosting shenanigans. 

The show will air on E! on September 18.

The Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today.

And once again, "Friday Night Lights" and, specifically, Connie Britton, were spurned.

And NOTHING for "The Shield" the greatest cop drama EVER?!

We don't know what the problem is but Happiness is not happy.

You can find all the nominees here.

Below are our thoughts on the major categories.

Let us know what you think.
